Free Republic is a fringe right-wing Christian fundamentalist site... or so they say... and they might even be right.
We don't go for any of that godless left-wing big government socialist malarkey. And we do put our faith and trust in God, not government. We are pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Family, pro-Country and pro-Liberty.
We do not believe that government or science knows what's best for us or our children. We will make our own decisions thank you very much.
Every once in a while some group of posters get together and try to bend Free Republic to their will. Now, we tend to be pretty free-wheeling around here and will take a lot of guff and a lot of obnoxious insults from a lot of people, but eventually a breaking point is reached.
For example, when a group of RINO lovers recently banded together to try to force FR to accept an abortionist/gay rights RINO as our presidential candidate, they soon found themselves on the outs.
And a few years ago a group of evolutionists tried to force FR over to their way of thinking and they soon found themselves on the outs.
FR is a pro-God, pro-Creator, pro-Life, pro-Liberty site.
And now we have yet another group of Darwinists trying to have their Darwinist way with us. Well, as I've said before what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger.
Darwin Central has again declared war on FR. They have ping lists and email lists and will try to pull away as many FReepers as they possibly can. So be it. Those who would rather go with Darwin, please go. I sure as hell won't try to stop you.
FR will remain a pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-Creator conservative site.
We wholeheartedly believe that our unalienable rights are a gift from God our Creator not from man or government. And no man, no government will ever deprive us of same.
Keep your powder dry.

You’re actually on to something: after all, not all of us are Social Conservatives, some of us believe in small government, period, and not government pushing ANY social theories, no matter how benign. . . Nose of the camel, and all that follows. .
no, your just fixated on ignoring where the term came from and what it actually means.
that is called willful ignorance
it is a sign of liberalism. Better check yourself.
Thanks Jim I’m here because your value system matches mine.
I knew you would get to it when you had enough! you always do.
God Bless.
Hello I thought you got banned. What happened? :)
You realize you aren't making any sense, right? "He's religious and he's a conservative, but he's not a 'religious conservative.'"
Some of us separate the practice of faith from practice of politics, rendering unto Caesar what is Caesars, and unto the Lord what is His. . . .
Which is why we're in the mess we're in today. If you separate your religious faith from the rest of life, odds are you don't actually believe that stuff to begin with.
"Render unto Caesar" is terrible advice, and another reason why I maintain that America's religious fundamentalists are practicing the wrong religion.
And btw, your friend steve-b was as loud as anyone on this forum, and often trumpeted his "religion" in order to slam creationists.
Free speech really isn’t your thing, is it?
“I said nothing of the sort. I specifically said that the YEC types are probably types who live in isolated communities where the only types of Christians they see in their everyday lives are fellow “bible literalists” and they rarely, if ever, encounter Catholic or Orthodox Christianity.”
Our homeschool group is about 60% Catholic. They even attended a YEC course that I taught. It made for some interesting conversation. We are even still really good friends.
Jesus handed the Apostles a glass of wine and called it blood
it was not his own blood
So you reckon the Earth is 6000 years old and dinosaurs rode on the Ark?
How do you teach a thing like that? What evidence is there to support it?
Um.. No.
What are you talking about?
Do you think that your God-given free speech rights are protected on Free Republic?
That gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling every time I come to it.
Thanks, Jim.
Actually, most Christians I know don’t like the *X* abbreviation for *Christ*.
They feel it’s nor respectful enough.

nor=not.....
Sorry I wouldn’t have any way of knowing that until I caught up to JR’s statement.
I don’t beleive either of those things and neither does any YECer I know or have ever read.
Do your Christian friends not know that X was and has been used for centuries by Christians to depict Christ as he did die on the cross?? And I thought you were the educated one!
